"This is my bible. I don't leave home without it."--Eva Mendes "Ivana Chubbuck is the premier acting coach of the twenty-first century.... Ivana's innovative methods of teaching both complement and rival those methods of the great teachers of the past.... Under Ivana's tutelage, the course of my career and depth of my work have changed dramatically."--Halle Berry, "This is my bible. I don't leave home without it."-Eva Mendes "Ivana Chubbuck is the premier acting coach of the twenty-first century.... Ivana's innovative methods of teaching both complement and rival those methods of the great teachers of the past.... Under Ivana's tutelage, the course of my career and depth of my work have changed dramatically."-Halle Berry, I found this proactive approach to be extremely powerful--not just in acting, but also in writing and directing.

Synopsis
The first book from the leading instructor to the stars, whose client roster includes Brad Pitt, Jim Carrey, Kate Hudson, David Duchovny, and Halle Berry (for an Oscar-winning performance in Monster's Ball), The Power of the Actor gives every reader directions to excellence. Previous generations of actors were steeped in the teaching traditions of Stanislavski, Strasberg, and Hagen, which focused on feelings. For many of today's hottest talents, the Chubbuck Technique is the first choice--the new acting technique for the twenty-first century. Taking the theories of those traditional masters into a new realm of psychological and behavioral study, industry veteran Ivana Chubbuck has developed a curriculum that guides students to the heart of a character by finding out what the character wants more than anything else and the behaviors they will use to get it. Filled with fascinating behind-the-scenes accounts of how countless celebrities mastered their craft, The Power of the Actor offers a trove of tidbits for fans as well., The first book from the leading instructor to the stars--whose client roster includes Brad Pitt, Jim Carrey, and Halle Berry--gives every reader and aspiring actor directions to excellence., In The Power of the Actor , a Los Angeles Times bestseller, premier acting teacher and coach Ivana Chubbuck reveals her cutting-edge technique, which has launched some of the most successful acting careers in Hollywood. The first book from the instructor who has taught Charlize Theron, Brad Pitt, Elisabeth Shue, Djimon Hounsou, and Halle Berry, The Power of the Actor guides you to dynamic and effective results. For many of today's major talents, the Chubbuck Technique is the leading edge of acting for the twenty-first century. Ivana Chubbuck has developed a curriculum that takes the theories of the acting masters, such as Stanislavski, Meisner, and Hagen, to the next step by utilizing inner pain and emotions, not as an end in itself, but rather as a way to drive and win a goal. In addition to the powerful twelve-step process, the book takes well-known scripts, both classic and contemporary, and demonstrates how to precisely apply Chubbuck's script-analysis process. The Power of the Actor is filled with fascinating and inspiring behind-the-scenes accounts of how noted actors have mastered their craft and have accomplished success in such a difficult and competitive field.

  • This is a good book for a new actor to read.

    Not a bad acting technique. Definitely a good background to have as you learn the craft.
